Pistols at School.

NEW YORK, April 6th.-The children
who attend Grammar School 5S, in Fifty
second street, between Eighth and Ninth
avenues, were going back to their class
rooms after the noon recess yesterday,
when they were startled by pistol shot
on the rear stairs. In few minutes it was
known that Arthur Tscheuin, aged l3
years, had been shot in the head by his
playfellow, Bernard Reilly, and there was
much excitement. Nearly all the boys
tried to get out of the building, and the
teachers had hard work TO keep control of
them.
An inquiry showed that the boys had
SEfen examining each others pistols, and
the shot was accidental. The wounded
boy is not expected to recover.
